Return to the Ruins (V)

Shi Yao almost laughed out loud, Sang Dai was dead, but the Heaven also promised to give her the spiritual root of Ying Heng.

Ying Heng was unexpectedly blamed for the incident of Guixu Lingmai and Cangwu Taoist Temple, for which Heaven was furious and almost killed Si Ku.

But Si Ku said, "I think Sandy is pretty powerful, I want to kill her myself."

Si Ku has always been playful, and Heaven cannot really kill him for this little thing. If Si Ku dies, He will have to create a new Si Ku from scratch to invade and destroy the four realms.

The heavens caused Si Ku to be struck by thunder for a whole month.

And Sandy was really dead.

The next second after he died, Su Xuan was awakened by Liu Lixue who tried desperately to break in, and was instantly teleported to Kongsang Realm.

There was only the body of Sandy and the monster running towards her.

They were just a breath away.

There are always many regrets in one's life.

Guixu was sleeping and waiting for death, Tiandao was hiding in the 81st heaven and laughing, Shi Yao and Bifang were toasting in joy in Jianzong.

Only Su Xuan was kneeling on the ground, holding Sang Dai's body and crying in despair. If Liu Lixue had not arrived, he might have committed suicide.

And Sandy...

She just stood aside. Somehow, a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots should have his soul shattered upon death, but she seemed to be still alive.

She was alive and conscious, watching all this.

She watched helplessly as her mortal enemy howled in front of his own body. The little fox rubbed her face again and again. Sandy had never seen him cry like this in her life.

No, she had never seen Su Xuan cry. The dead vixen didn't even frown even when she broke his bones, as if he didn't feel any pain.

But at this moment, she seemed to feel his despair through his tears and his wailing.

She really didn't understand.

What is even more incomprehensible is that Su Xuan actually carried her body back to the Demon Palace.

Sang Dai had never been to the Demon Palace in her life. When she saw Su Xuan sitting in the house holding her corpse for a whole day, he seemed to be sitting there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

Sandy was extremely anxious.

No, she was dead, so what was the point of him holding her body?

She sat cross-legged opposite Su Xuan, watching him hold her body in his arms without saying a word, her eyes empty and cold.

Until tonight passes and the next day comes.

The door of the demon palace was knocked, but Su Xuan still did not move.

Sandy pushed him, but passed through him again.

She whispered, "That...someone shouted——"

"Liu Lixue."

Su Xuan spoke at the same time as her.

Outside the palace, Liu Lixue said in a hoarse voice: "My Lord, I am here."

"Bring the black ice."

Liu Lixue was silent for only a moment before she understood what Xiao Suxuan meant, "Okay."

At that time, Sandy still didn't know what Xiao Suxuan was going to do.

Until she saw that the couch in the main hall was replaced by the ice bed, and a demon servant came in to bathe her and change her clothes.

Sandy sat cross-legged on the table, feeling very relieved, thinking that her mortal enemy still remembered to collect a body for her, and prepared an ice bed for her to prevent her body from decaying before the funeral. He also changed her into a beautiful new dress in her favorite blue color. She felt a little guilty for treating him like that in the past.

Before she could thank her mortal enemy a few times in her heart, she saw Su Xuan coming in.

He had taken a bath and said calmly, "Go out."

The demon servant saluted: "Yes."

Sang Dai blinked, thinking that Su Xuan was going to start praying for her soul, and she felt more and more that he was a good man.

Then I saw——

He lay down on the ice bed and hugged her body.

For a moment, Sandy felt that the world had gone mad.

Su Xuan held her in his arms, kissed her forehead, and tears rolled down his eyes.

"Dede."

Sandy nearly fell off the table.

Her voice was high-pitched: "Su Xuan! You are crazy!"

But Su Xuan couldn't hear anything at all and let Sang Dai climb onto the couch and push him. In any case, she couldn't touch him, nor could she touch her own body.

She fell silent after seeing the tears on Su Xuan's face.

She sat on the bed, and after a long while she murmured in a low voice: "Su Xuan...are you really crazy..."

She stayed with Su Xuan for thirty years.

Su Xuan changed and began to actively attack the fairy world, especially the Sword Sect. All the sects and cities under the jurisdiction of the Sword Sect were destroyed one by one by him. Any sect that dared to help the Sword Sect would be included in Su Xuan's kill list.

Frequent wars began in the demon world.

Sandy would sit in the house and watch him every day. He would go out to fight during the day and come back to sleep with her after taking a bath at night.

He knew that Sandee was afraid of the cold, so he slept almost entirely in his original form, with his plush fox body curled up in his arms.

Sandy was shocked at first but later got used to it.

She was clearly aware that her mortal enemy liked her.

I don't know why, but he just likes her.

Sandy was at a loss. She saw him crying every day and she didn't know why he had so many tears.

It’s been thirty years, thirty years. She has been watching him by his side for thirty years.

He didn't bury her for thirty years.

Sandy watched him go crazy day by day, watched him kill more and more people, and watched the inexplicable black energy around him become thicker and thicker.

She began to be afraid. She was afraid that Su Xuan would commit too many murders and would be punished by heaven.

What frightened her even more was that she began to become weak.

She used to be able to sleep all the time, but now she has to sleep every once in a while. She started by sleeping for an hour, then two hours, and then three hours...

Then, it was a day, a month.

She was clearly aware that she was weak.

But she hasn't seen Su Xuan let go yet, how can she be weak?

Until she went out for a walk again, she fell into a deep sleep without any warning, and when she woke up she found herself in a bamboo house.

She rubbed her head and sat up, not understanding why she was here.

At this time, he appeared.

Dressed in black and wearing a mask, he leaned against the door and looked at her lazily.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Sandy felt confused: "You...you can see me?"

The man in black sneered: "Nonsense, of course I can, I'm not a human."

Sandy shook her head, feeling powerless, and asked, "Where is this?"

"Kunshan, Weisheng's home."

She didn’t know about Weisheng’s family.

She stood up and wanted to go out: "I, I have to go back..."

"Where to go back to?"

"Demon world, I have to find Su Xuan."

"What do you want with him?"

Sandy suddenly stopped and froze in place.

Yes, why look for him?

They were obviously mortal enemies, and when they were alive they only knew how to fight.

But she was used to being around him for thirty years.

But the man in black sat down in the yard, knocked on the table and called her to come and sit down.

Sandy walked over, sat down in front of him, and asked politely, "What's your name?"

He said, “I don’t have a name.”

"...Who doesn't have a name? You're already that old."

"But I just don't have a name." He smiled and said, "Well, someone gave me one, so you can call me that."

"What are you calling?" Sandy asked.

"A Song." He said with a smile, "A little girl gave me this name because we met in a pine forest."

"...a little girl?"

"Yes." Asong sat down and gestured with his hands, which were just up to his chest, and said, "She was only five or six years old. She thought I was sad, so she gave me a candy bar to tell me not to be sad. I sent her home, and she said she wanted to thank me and asked me my name, and I said I didn't have a name."

So she named him Asong, and said in a childish voice that this would be his name from now on.

Sandy: “And what happened next?”

Asong chewed another piece of candy cane and smiled, "The day after she returned, her father, who was a monk, suddenly went mad and killed her mother and her. Her neck was cut off. She has been dead for more than ten years."

Sandy didn't expect it to end like this, and this guy was even laughing.

She suddenly frowned, thinking that this man was so cold-blooded that it was a little scary, and she was about to get up and leave.

"Don't you want to hear more?"

“Not interested.”

"But Sandy, I want to say something."

Sandy suddenly turned around and asked: "How do you know my name?"

"I just know it. Do I need a reason?" Asong crossed his arms and looked up at Sandy who was standing. "I even buried the bodies of the three of them."

Sandy said expressionlessly, "Yeah."

"I also stuffed a candy into her hand. It tastes delicious on the road to the underworld."

"...You are such a good person."

Ah Song ignored her weirdness and asked her to sit down with a smile: "I have told you my story, why don't you tell me your story?"

Sandy said indifferently: "I don't have a story."

"Then Sandy, let's chat." Asong still had a smile on his face and knocked on the stool beside him: "Chat with me for a while, and I will tell you why you are like this."

He seemed to know a lot. Not only could he see her, but after bringing her here, her body seemed to have gained a lot more strength.

Sandy sat down anyway.

Ah Song poured her a cup of tea and was about to pass it to her when he suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot you are dead and can't drink it."

Sandy: “…”

Asong drank it himself, his eyes beneath the mask still looking at her, the smile in his eyes made her unable to tell whether it was good or bad.

Sandy didn't know him, and she thought he was very strange. "What do you want to say?"

Ah Song stood up and sat on the swing. He looked at the small courtyard in front of him and suddenly asked softly, "Do you know where this is?"

Sandy couldn't remember. She had been dead for so long, and as she became weaker and weaker, she had forgotten many of her memories when she was alive.

Asong said, "Sandei, you are so stupid and have been living in confusion these years. Let me tell you something."

He looked at Sandee, put away the smile on his face, and told her all of Sandee's sealed memories.

The truth behind the annihilation of Weisheng's family, the Weisheng seal on Sangdai's body, the destruction of the Guixu spiritual vein, and the massacre of the Cangwu Taoist temple.

It took a whole hour for Asong to finish speaking these words in a relaxed tone, and he restored all of Sandy's lost memories to her.

The only thing he hadn't told Sandy was—

He is Si Ku, the real murderer who slaughtered Wei Sheng's family and the root cause of all this.

From the time he talked about dusk to the time when the moonlight was thick, Sandy didn't respond until long after Asong had finished speaking. It was as if she didn't believe it at all, or as if she hadn't heard it at all.

Asong raised his eyebrows: "You don't have any reaction at all?"

Sandy stood up and glanced at him calmly, "I should go back now."

Asong leaned on the swing and watched her go with a smile.

But Sandy did not walk out of the gate. She held on to the fence and looked at the collapsed house outside, the dense forest in front of her, and the bloodstains on the gate that had not yet been washed away.

She was clearly dead, but she suddenly vomited large mouthfuls of blood and knelt on the ground.

Sandy covered her heart. She had died a long time ago and had lost her five senses. But at this moment, she felt it for the first time -

What a heart-wrenching feeling.

She broke down and cried, screaming in despair. The whole forest was filled with her cries. Those sealed memories were evoked by Asong's words.

The annihilation of Weisheng's family, the destruction of Guixu spiritual vein, the corpses everywhere in Cangwu Taoist Temple, and Ying Heng kneeling in the rain, all flooded into her mind in an instant.

When Sandy woke up again, she was still in the same courtyard, and the man was still sitting on the swing in the courtyard.

She asked in a hoarse voice: "How long have I slept?"

Ah Song smiled and replied: "Five years."

She didn't ask herself why she had slept for five years. Sandy came to the yard and sat down.

Ah Song said, "You exist because of someone's obsession. Su Xuan nourished your body with his own heart and blood. As long as his obsession is gone, your soul will not be able to dissipate. The micro-life seal in your sea of ​​consciousness... maybe there are other reasons. In short, your weakness is because Su Xuan is going crazy."

Sandy whispered, "How is he?"

"That's it. Fight, sleep, fight, sleep. What else can it be?"

"Can I go back and see him?"

"Of course you can." Asong said while drinking, "But you will become weaker and weaker if you leave Weisheng's house. The barrier of Weisheng's house here will strengthen your Weisheng seal. You can still survive here. Don't stay too long after you go back, or you will fall asleep again."

Sandy looked up into the void. The sun was shining brightly, but she could not feel it.

She knew everything, so what, she was dead.

She heard herself asking, "Why are you helping me?"

Asong also looked up at the sky. He seemed drunk even though he had only taken a sip of wine.

He murmured, "I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. I'm just... tired too."

What is he tired of?

Sandy didn't understand at the time.

He took out a piece of candy and ate it slowly. Sandy found that he really loved candy.

And she returned to Su Xuan's side.

After not seeing each other for five years, Su Xuan has completely changed.

There was no smile on his face anymore, he was so numb that only a shell remained. The immortal world suffered heavy casualties, and the same was true in the demon world.

The four realms were constantly at war, and the demon world and the underworld took advantage of the chaos to get involved. The war in the four realms never stopped.

More and more people were going crazy. Sandy saw that Su Xuan was getting more and more covered in black energy. Asong told her that it was the Four Bitternesses.

The four sufferings have killed many people, the four sufferings are worthy of death, and the four sufferings make people hate them.

Many people suffer from the four sufferings, and Heaven intends to use the four sufferings to destroy this world.

Sang Dai didn't even have the ability to deliver a message for Su Xuan. She begged Asong to let him tell Su Xuan about this, but Asong said that he was bound by the laws of heaven and the secret could not be revealed, otherwise heaven would strike him.

Being beside Su Xuan, she could only watch as Su Xuan became more murderous and crazier day by day.

Later, Sandy became numb. Asong said that everything was fate and could not be changed.

As a dead person, she could not do anything. She could not even stay awake for a few days. Instead, her coma lasted longer and longer.

When Sang Dai was awake, she followed Su Xuan, sitting cross-legged in the room and looking at him.

When she was weak, Asong would come to take her back to Weisheng's home.

And she slept longer and longer.

From the initial five years, to ten years, to fifteen years, and then to thirty years.

Time passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she had been dead for a hundred years.

When she woke up again after more than 30 years, she also felt that her energy was running out.

She knew this meant Su Xuan was going crazy.

Asong is still the same as always, playful, talking in a frivolous way, loving to eat and drink and not caring about anything.

This time when Sandy woke up, she saw Su Xuan who was extremely crazy.

He could ignore the fact that an innocent boy had his neck bitten off in front of him and kill all the captives in the city without hesitation. The black energy around him had turned into red blood energy. He had transformed from a heavenly-level spiritual root awakener in the Tribulation Realm into an evil spirit. His luck was getting weaker and weaker. His existence had seriously violated the world laws set by the Heavenly Dao tens of thousands of years ago, and the Heavenly Dao was gradually awakening from its slumber.

He couldn't bear to see the gift he gave to the four realms turn into an evil spirit. This was an insult to him. He contacted Shen Ci Yu, the most powerful person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots besides Su Xuan at that time. He admired Shen Ci Yu very much, and the destiny he set for Shen Ci Yu was almost second only to that of Sang Dai at the beginning.

At that time, Sang Dai didn't know Tian Dao and Shen Ci Yu's plan.

She was just afraid that Su Xuan's serious murder would bring about divine punishment, and her heart was filled with sadness and pity, as well as emotions that she couldn't even describe.

It’s enough, it’s enough. Why did so many people have to die because of her?

When Su Xuan said he wanted to enter into a twin marriage with her corpse and die with her——

Sandy finally made up her mind.

She should have disappeared long ago, because her existence caused the immortal and demon worlds to be in such chaos, and the four worlds were in constant war.

She destroyed the body.

Sandy thought:

Su Xuan, I hope you will always move forward and forget the past.

Sang Dai underestimated Su Xuan's love and his madness.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw a skeleton. He broke down and cried, smashed the things in the bedroom, pointed at the corpse and cursed:

"What do I owe you? What do I owe you? Sandy, Sandy, what do I owe you? Why do you treat me like this?"

Sandy stood in the house at a loss, and Asong appeared behind her.

"Look, Miss Sang, you did something wrong."

Sandy was at a loss: "No... No, I don't think of you like this..."

She tried to rush forward and hug him. She was completely panicked. Seeing Su Xuan acting so crazy and even Liu Lixue rushing out, Sang Dai couldn't calm down at all. She realized that she was very wrong.

Su Xuan sat in the house for the whole night, and Sang Dai sat opposite him and accompanied him all night.

She apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Su Xuan... Can you calm down a little..."

Why would he do this?

He should have forgotten her.

Sang Dai doesn't want Su Xuan to die, and doesn't want Su Xuan to die because of her.

As a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots, the Lord of the demon world, and a demon cultivator at the Tribulation Realm, he should have his own life. He shouldn't rely on her for his life, and shouldn't tie his life to a corpse that will be destroyed sooner or later.

Sandy was at a loss and burst into tears. Su Xuan was too quiet, totally unlike the crazy man in the first half of the night.

When the daylight rose, he sat up, changed into new clothes, and took out a familiar wooden hairpin to tie up his silver hair.

Sandy was right beside him, trying to touch him again and again, begging him: "Su Xuan, forget it, forget me, let me go."

"Obsession will destroy you and the demon world. Please don't do this. I beg you, Su Xuan."

"I'm so bad, I've been so bad to you, just forget me."

She watched Su Xuan burn down the main hall, and her body turned to ashes.

Su Xuan walked out of the demon palace carrying a pot of wine.

Sang Dai stood in the yard and turned to look at the burning main hall behind her. She heard screams from the demon hall and many people rushed to put out the fire. Liu Lixue stumbled over when she heard the news.

When Peacock saw the fire all over the sky, he fell to his knees.

This was the first time Sandy saw Liu Lixue cry.

Liu Lixue rested her forehead on the ground and cried out in pain, "It's over... It's over... It's all over..."

Why is it over? Why is it over?

She suddenly felt anxious, her heart beat faster and faster, and she turned around and ran somewhere.

No, no, don't!

No, Su Xuan, no!

When she ran to the back mountain of the fairyland, in front of a dilapidated bamboo house, a man was standing in the snow with a glass of wine in his hand.

She saw the dark clouds hanging over his head, the flashing lightning, and Shen Ci Yu flying towards him from behind.

"Su Xuan! Su Xuan, get out of the way!"

“No, no, no!”

Sang Dai ran towards him, and when Shen Ci Yu's sword pierced Su Xuan's back, she, who was just a soul, threw herself into Su Xuan's arms. The cold sword, carrying Su Xuan's blood, also stabbed into her body.

It is often said that a person may meet the person he wants to meet before he dies.

When longing reaches its extreme, even the soul can see it.

Sang Dai didn't feel any pain, but she could feel Su Xuan's boiling blood.

The blood from his heart flowed along the sword into her body, and a faint golden light appeared around her.

She exists because of his obsession.

The cold touch of his hand touched her face. Sandy looked up and heard sobs.

"Is this a dream..."

Su Xuan seemed to have seen an incredible scene, his eyes widened and his pupils shrank.

He was clearly vomiting blood, but he held her face, but his hands passed through her face and couldn't touch her.

"It was a dream... I was still dreaming..."

Sang Dai's breathing was trembling: "Su Xuan..."

"It doesn't matter if it's a dream or not, Dai Dai, Dai Dai..."

"I've been waiting for you for a hundred years... I've been waiting for you for so long, why did you just come to pick me up... Dai Dai, I really can't wait any longer..."

"Can I come and accompany you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have shut myself off... Dai Dai, did it hurt? There was so much blood on your body..."

He kept apologizing and Sandy broke down crying.

"You have to live, you have to live, please live!"

Su Xuan bent down and hugged her through the air.

"Dade...I love you so much..."

His hands dropped limply, and his body fell toward her.

"Su Xuan!"

Sandy cried and tried to hug him, but she passed through his body again. After such a long time, she still couldn't touch him.

He was lying in the snow, his silver hair all over the ground, the bloody hole in his heart was terrifying, and at that moment her mind was filled with...

It's over, she's finished too.

It has come to this.

The thunder from heaven struck him, trying to shatter the last of his soul.

"Su Xuan!!"

Sandy threw herself on him without hesitation.

The lightning passed through her and landed on Su Xuan.

The demon king Su Xuan, who had awakened his heavenly spiritual roots, died one hundred years after Sang Dai's death.

"Su Xuan... I'm sorry..."

When Su Xuan died and her obsession disappeared, she fell beside him and watched her body turn into pieces of flying smoke.

Her consciousness was hazy and she seemed to see Asong squatting beside her.

He took off his mask, but Sandy couldn't see his face. She only heard him say, "Did I lose... or is it still like this..."

Sandy thought—

Why?

She actually really... wanted them to live.

If I could do it again, if I could do it again...

She forgot how long she had slept, and her consciousness fell into darkness. She seemed to be in the deep sea, floating without a home.

Until one day, a voice woke her up.

——The four sufferings and poisons, the return to the ruins and destruction, the awakened one of the heavenly spiritual roots, what path do you choose?

What path did she choose?

At that moment, she thought of Ying Heng who was hugging her and crying in the rain, Su Xuan who had gone mad and become an evil spirit, and the sword that pierced through Su Xuan's heart and her body in the heavy snow.

——Heavenly level spiritual root awakener, do you want to live?

Sandy turned sideways, covered her face, and choked, "I want to live... I don't want to die..."

Because of her death, many people will die.

None of this is over.

——The one with awakened heavenly spiritual roots, I am Guixu.

It is the Ruins.

It was Guixu who was talking to her.

Sandy sobbed, "God, please let me live and save them."

"I don't want to lose them again... I don't want to lose anyone... I don't want the four worlds to perish..."

In the confusion and darkness, there seemed to be someone sitting next to her.

Just like every time she woke up in the past, the first person she saw was him.

He would shake a bottle of wine, smile and say to her: "Awake, you slept longer this time."

She heard a familiar voice:

"I made a mistake. I did it too late. Many things cannot be saved after your death."

"I'll accompany you again this time, Sandy...and please help me once too."

"Please kill me."

She couldn't tell who was speaking, she only heard another voice that seemed to come from eternity.

It said: "Heavenly-level spiritual root awakener, heir of the Weisheng family, I give Weisheng the power of the seal of return to the ruins, and the other five heavenly-level spiritual root awakeners help me accomplish this task at the cost of their souls being torn apart."

"I'll give you another chance. I'll rewrite your destiny for you."

Returning to the ruins gave her a new destiny.

This is the destiny that Lingyin saw.

She did not die in that battle. Return to the Ruins changed the ending of her previous life and wrote this life for her.

She will survive and destroy Guixu Wonderland, even if she is surrounded and killed by the four realms.

She is the heir of the Weisheng family, and she has the Weisheng seal that Guixu personally gave to Weisheng's family.

She is not eroded by the four sufferings and can enter the depths of the abyss alone.

This world was born first in Guixu, and the Way of Heaven came after Guixu. Guixu is the foundation of the existence of the world of cultivation.

The real god in the world of cultivation should be Guixu.

As long as there are people alive, Guixu is still alive. It burned its boats and used all its strength to deceive the heavens and gave Sandy a chance to start over.

Time goes back to the time of the war between fairies and demons. When Sandy was about to die, before Guixu fell into a deep sleep, he used his spiritual power to awaken the Weisheng family seal in Sandy's sea of ​​consciousness.

It gave the Weisheng family the final order to seal the contract.

—Let Sandy live.

In fact, it was not the Weisheng family seal but Guixu that gave Sandy the opportunity to start over.

Su Xuan was supposed to be in seclusion, and Liu Lixue couldn't break through his protective barrier, but the awakened Wei Sheng family seal entered.

It awakened the sleeping Su Xuan and saved Sang Dai.

When Sandy woke up again, a book appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness. It contained records of her previous life, and was given to her by Asong. However, this man exaggerated and wrote a rather bloody storybook, in which Shen Ci Yu and Shi Yao, who were favored by Tian Dao, were written as the male and female protagonists, and she was written as a cannon fodder. Su Xuan killed so many people that he was naturally a villain.

There was no storybook at all. That was the previous life, her previous life.

She could also hear Su Xuan's thoughts.

That was also a gift from Asong to Sandy.

When Sandy was sent back in time by Guixu, Asong appeared and sent the drop of blood that flowed into Sandy's soul when Su Xuan died into reincarnation.

He lazily said to Guixu: "These two are really awkward. One is stupid and the other is stubborn. We can't let them repeat the same mistakes again, can we?"

This time, Asong also accompanied Sandy on the journey back.

Everything is back to square one.

When Sang Dai woke up in the Demon Palace, she spoke the first words to Su Xuan.

——Su Xuan, long time no see.

A new destiny begins to operate.
